House Democrats' campaign arm is instructing allied super PACs to promote minor candidates in key House races. This strategy allows Democrats to steer outside groups toward siphoning votes from Republicans without violating laws against direct coordination. An Axios review found references to minor candidates in five races. In four of these, the DCCC included language promoting third-party or independent candidates based on their conservative, pro-gun, or anti-government stances. For instance, ads in Colorado's 5th District are directed at registered Republicans suggesting a libertarian candidate is the true conservative. Similarly, in Virginia's 2nd District, ads highlight an independent candidate's support for the Second Amendment. The DCCC also wants voters in Virginia's 5th District to know about an independent candidate who will fight against big government. Republican women in Nevada's 2nd District are to be informed about an American Independent Party candidate's long-standing fight for conservative values. In some cases, the DCCC urges super PACs to steer Democratic and left-leaning voters away from minor candidates who might siphon votes from their own candidates. The DCCC redboxes provide messaging guidance to these outside groups, a practice that has become common in the post-Citizens United era.
